#22: Do They Really Have Talent?
Personally, I don’t watch a lot of competition shows for exactly the reason outlined in this image. For instance, I love watching obstacle course competitions, but I absolutely cannot watch Ninja Warrior because it’s 30% people running the course and 70% sob stories about how our next contestant is a single mom who just loves her kids so much.
And America’s Got Talent is one of the worst offenders, although to be fair, Britain’s Got Talent and anyone else who’s Got Talent are pretty much the same. Maybe I’m a heartless person, but if this is a talent show, I’m more interested in talent than in hearing about how Brett is doing this competition in honor of his sister who died. Sorry, Brett, I’m just here to hear you sing.
